        void delete​(Object entity,
            PersistenceContext persistenceContext)
     throws DomainException
        Deletes an entity from the persistence backend

        Parameters:
        entityClass - The Class to get an instance of (is generally the interface of the required Class)

        Parameters:
        entity - the Class of the requested type
        persistenceContext - persistence context for session handling.
        Returns:
        all managed instances of the given class.

      • getInstance

        Object getInstance​(String entityClassname)
        Returns a newly created instance of the requested Class or an instance implementing the requested interface if the Class is an interface. In order to persist such an entity, invoke the persist() method.
        Parameters:
        entityClassname - The Class to get an instance of (is generally the interface of the required Class)
        Returns:

      • parseIdString

        WmId parseIdString​(String wmId)
        Parse string representation of the WM ID into WM ID for that particular domain.
